If you're reading this, I promise it will get better.
For years, I constantly felt alone in the world, like there was no one for me to talk to. I didn't think that it would get any better.
In my first year of middle school, I didn't have a lot of friends. I was too shy to talk to anyone and I lost touch with the ones I knew from elementary school. It took me years to finally meet some of the most important people in my life.
Many people go years without a single friend in their life. There are things they won't or can't talk about with their family so they keep everything bottled up inside.
Depression is a huge problem in this generation and it happens too easily. There are many ways we can prevent this from happening to ourselves, as well as others around us.
If you're the girl who doesn't talk much and can't seem to make any friends, don't think you're a loser. You just enjoy time to yourself better. And that doesn't mean you always have to be alone. At some point in your near future, you'll find someone. Whether it's someone new, or someone who has been around you the whole time.
Even if you don't find someone, you shouldn't have to feel alone during a rough time. Find things that interest you where you can do it alone and wouldn't even care. I personally found that listening to music or writing a story helped me feel somewhat not alone. There are many things to do by yourself without feeling upset about it.
For years I told myself it will get better. And in some ways, it has.
After being alone for so long, I found myself forming lifelong friendships with people who I can tell anything to. I never thought it would feel so good. Sure time to myself is always needed, but I strongly feel surrounding myself with positive people is the best method.
Having people in your life that bring out the best in you is fulfilling, but it all starts with you first. You have to make sure you're able to function alone because at the end of the day, only you truly know you.
